Phew.
I just got home from a whirlwind week out in New Orleans at Pictage's annual Partner Conference. It was so much fun seeing old friends and making new ones as well. I didn't even take my camera out until I was done speaking on Tuesday so I didn't get as many photos as I would have liked, but wanted to share some of the cool people I got the chance to hang with for the week.
These are the Edmonsons -- a father/son team based out of Dallas who I absolutely adore. They were part of my team that went to Tanzania in July so it was so much fun to reconnect with them and hang out a bit. |
| We also got to hook up with Mike Colon who was part of the Africa Team as well: |
| These two were two of my roomies for the week. Rhonda Danner (L) and Erin O'Neil (R) are both new photographers out of South Carolina. Rhonda is a dear friend of mine since back in 1999 when we met on a mission trip to Thailand. You may recognize her from the numerous times she's been on my blog. I shot her wedding a few years ago and then she shot Erin's wedding in May. It was so fun to have a friend from my non-photography past enter into this world for a week with me and it was fun to get to know Erin as well. |
| Ben Finch introduced himself to me the first night of the trip and we became fast friends. Ben is based in Tennessee and is just an all-around great guy. I loved hanging with him all week. |
| As I mentioned in my last post, I enjoyed the many speakers I was able to hear throughout the week at the conference. One of them is a dear friend of mine and fellow Phoenician -- Jared Platt. We met for the very first time 5 years ago at our first Pictage Conference. So it was fun to be a speaker alongside him and hang out throughout the week. |
| Jared has a natural talent for teaching and was a huge hit at the conference. Here he is in action: |
| So much fun! I'm bummed I didn't get photos with more of the people I got to hang with. But thank you all for a great week and I can't wait until next year! Pictage announced that the 2010 conference will also be held in New Orleans. So if you are a photographer -- mark your calendars now! |
